York Minster | A Cathedral Steeped in History & Majesty ⛪️✨
On our walk from the hotel, Dad schooled us on Church vs. Abbey vs. Minster: Only a bishop’s seat earns the title "Minster" – making York Minster the grandest! (Even Westminster Abbey, where Will & Kate wed, doesn’t qualify!) 🎟️ Our Visit: Pre-booked tickets (kids free!). First sight: The "Heart of York" stained glass ❤️. Recreated Jay Chou’s wedding pics (though he married at Selby Abbey – the arches/columns here are eerily similar!). 🎹 The Organ: Played since 1485! Catch live performances Wednesdays at dusk. 🏰 Tower Climb (£6 extra, kids pay too!): 275 spiral steps – so narrow, single-file only! Midway balcony break → then summit views over York! (Signs label landmarks below.) Worth every panting step! 🪨 Souvenir Tip: Take home a piece of the Minster – literal history in your hands! #YorkMinster #UKTravel #CathedralWonders #FamilyAdventures #JayChouVibes
